Jin Yu's eyes turned colder as he stared at the black baby who met his gaze without an ounce of fear, as if daring him to attack.
My family?
He wouldn't even worry about his father, but what about Jin Ni?
He walked up to the baby and grabbed it by the neck, raised it to his eyes level.
The baby didn't even struggle, it only continued staring at him, it's eyes never stopped sparkling.
"Is that true?"
He asked it, voice devoid of emotions.
The baby only cooed in reply, a smile etched on its face.
Jin Yu didn’t say another word, he simply kept his gaze fixed on the creature.
Yet behind those calm eyes, his mind stirred with thoughts.
I can't keep it in the Floating mansion, that's dangerous.
What about Velkharra Space?
System, store this thing.
He commanded mentally.
Ding!
Error: Beast is not recognized as slave, storage not permitted.
Velkharra space currently supports: Recognized Slave Beasts (Limit: 1).
Dominate the beast to store.
Upgrade required for additional storage.
Jin Yu wasn't surprised.
He waved the still smiling baby in the air slightly and spoke.
"You," he tapped it's nose twice then asked.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
"you want revenge right?"
The baby smiled even wider at the question, knowing that Jin Yu is cornered, helpless against it.
Jin Yu also smiled. "Become my slave, you'll have all the revenge you want."
The baby froze, it's smile faltering for a moment.
Seer's face changed, alarmed.
He quickly walked over. "Friend, that's out of question, you can't." he stopped beside Jin Yu and snatched the black baby from him.
His eyes showed unusual concern as he continued.
"Binding it to your soul is the same as feeding it, it'll devour your spiritual essence and rebel."
Jin Yu smiled as he looked at Seer. "Don't worry friend, I know what I'm doing." he said and collected the baby from him, bringing it to his eyes level again.
Seer froze in place, his eyes wide with surprise.
He looked at Jin Yu and asked quietly, almost afraid of the answer. "Did you just... call me.... Friend?"
Jin Yu raised a brow, not looking at him. "Yeah, why?"
Seer looked even more surprised as he looked away, a smile tugging at his lips.
"Nothing" he answered simply.
Jin Yu's eyes flitted to him for a second and spoke. "Don't get the wrong idea, you are still a stranger to me"
Seer nodded gently, trying so hard to hide the happiness blooming in his eyes, but Jin Yu caught it.
He shook his head slightly and focused back on the black baby.
"So, what do you say?" He asked it.
The baby didn't give a reaction, it only stared at Jin Yu with it's big black pearl eyes, as if trying to read his heart and see through his intention.
Jin Yu chuckled. "What? scared now?, Who was the one gloating earlier?"
The baby's mouth scrunched up in dissatisfaction as it turned it's head away, refusing to look at him.
But Jin Yu wasn't done with it.
He tapped it's bald head and spoke.
"Your soul attack was so weak that I didn't even feel a thing, not even a scratch in my mind,"
The baby's head whipped back to him, glaring at him angrily.

(Emotion provoked: Anger)
"What? You're angry?, I am giving you the opportunity to devour my powerful soul essence, but you don't dare take it?"
Jin Yu shook his head pitifully, as if seeing a great joke. "I thought you were something great when you were acting so fearless, who knew it was just an act, you are actually a coward, even a feral beast is better than you "
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
(Emotion provoked: Immense Anger)
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The baby bursted into a loud cry from anger.
But Jin Yu wasn't done.
"Now I see, all you can do is cry, no ounce of boldness at all." He shook his head. "Tch tch, Your ancestors must be disappointed, to have such a spineless descendant"
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
(Emotion provoked: Humiliation)
Jin Yu didn't let that cool.
"You can go if you want, but I'll tell the whole world, if they see you and a feral beast, they should bow to the beast and spit on you, because you are way lower than it, way LOWER"
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
(Emotion provoked: Humiliation)
Seer's mouth hung open in disbelief.
Friend is this creative?.
"I can't believe people even took you seriously, you that can be kicked to death and won't do a thing out of fear, so USELESS!"
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding
(Emotion provoked: Mental Breakdown)
Jin Yu eyes lit up.
This is my chance.
He thought, and dropped the baby on the floor, it landed on its butt and continued crying.
Jin Yu turned his back to it and sighed.
His voice came out low and disappointed.
"Forget it, I know you will never accept since you're too afraid, but don't blame me if I tell Nenru that you're tarnishing it's name in the whole Realm."
He shook his head in pity as he walked away.
"Nenru...will be disappointed"
That was the final straw.
The baby stopped crying and then
Ding!
